That's gotta be near a trillion per YEAR on my plan..

What's your plan? 10% reduction in military, okay, that gets you $70B. Only $930M to go. Oh, did you want to extend all those bush tax cuts, now you've got $1270B to go (that's right, nearly $1.3T).


Don't matter who we elect none of what you write will ever be implemented. See post above wink
